Back when
I was a child
Before life removed
all the innocence
My father would
lift me high
And dance with my
mother and
Me and then
spin me around
'til I fell asleep
then up the stairs
He would carry me
and I knew for sure
I was loved
if I could get
Another chance
another walk
Another dance
with him
I'd play a song that
would never ever end
How I'd
love love love
To dance with my
father again
Woo-
when I and my mother
Would disagree
to get my way
I would run
from her to him
He'd make me laugh
just to comfort me
Yeah yeah
then finally
Make me do
just what
My mama said
later that night
When I was asleep
he left a dollar
Under my sheet
never dreamed
That he
would be gone
From me
if I could steal
One final glance
one final step
One final
dance with him
I'd play a song
that would never
Ever end
'cause I'd
Love love love
to dance with
My father again
sometimes I'd listen
Outside her door
and I'd hear how
My mother
cried for him
I pray for her
even more than me
I pray for her
even more than me

I know I'm praying
for much too much
But could
you send back
The only
man she loved
I know you
don't do it usually
But dear Lord
she's dying
To dance with
my father again
Every night
I fall asleep
And this is all
I ever dream

I thought
some time alone
Was what
we really needed
You said
this time would hurt
More than it helps but
I couldn't see that
I thought
it was the end
Of a beautiful story
and so I left the one
I love at home
to be alone
And I tried
and found out
This one thing is true
that I'm nothing
Without you
I know better now
And I've had
a change of heart
I'd rather have
bad times with you
Than good times
with someone else
I'd rather be
beside you in a storm
Than safe and warm
by myself
I'd rather have
hard times together
Than to have it
easy apart
I'd rather
have the one
Who holds my heart
woo yeah
And then I met
someone
And thought
she could replace you
We got along just fine
but wasted time
Because she was
not you
We had a lot of fun
though we knew
We were faking
love was not impressed
With our connection
built on lies all lies
So I'm here
cause I found
This one thing is true
that I'm nothing
Without you
I know better now
And I've had
a change of heart
I'd rather have
bad times with you
Than good times
with someone else
I'd rather be
beside you in a storm
Than safe and warm
by myself
I'd rather have
hard times together
Than to have it
easy apart
I'd rather
have the one
Who holds my heart
who holds my heart
I can blame you
if you turn away
From me like
I've done you
I can only
prove the things
I say with time
please be mine
I'd rather have
bad times with you
Than good times
with someone else
I'd rather be
beside you in a storm
Than safe and warm
by myself
I'd rather have
hard times together
Than to have it
easy apart
I'd rather have the
one who holds my heart
I'd rather have
bad times with you
Than good times
with someone else
I'd rather be
beside you in a storm
Than safe and warm
by myself
I'd rather have
hard times together
Than to have it
easy apart
I'd rather
have the one
Who holds my heart
I'd rather
Have the one
who holds my heart
I'd rather
have the one
Who holds my heart

I can't fool myself
I don't want
Nobody else to ever
love me
You are my
shinin' star
My guiding light
my love fantasy
There's not
a minute hour day
Or night that
I don't love you
You're at the top
of my list
'Cause I'm always
thinkin' of you
I still remember
in the days
When I scared to
touch you
How I spent my day
dreamin' plannin'
How to say
I love you
You must have known
that I had feelings
Deep enough
to swim in
That's when you
opened up your heart
And you told me
to come in
Oh my love
a thousand kisses
From you is
never too much
I just
don't wanna stop
Oh my love
a million days
In your arms is
never too much
I just
don't wanna stop-

Woke up today
looked at your picture
Just to get me
started
I called you up
but you weren't there
And I was
broken hearted
Hung up the phone
can't be too late
The boss is
so demandin'
Opened the door up
and to my surprise
There you were
standin'
Who needs
to go to work
To hustle
for another dollar
I'd rather be with you
'cause you make
My heart scream
and holler
Love is a gamble
and I'm so glad
That I'm winnin'
we've come a long way
And yet this is
only the beginnin'
Oh my love
a thousand kisses
From you is
never too much
I just
don't wanna stop
Oh my love
a million days
In your arms is
never too much
And I just
don't wanna stop-
